Abstract
Abstract Dusty additives intended to be used as stabilizer, lubricants, etc. in a polymer or copolymer of vinylchloride are firstly mixed with said polymer or copolymer of vinylchloride, or of acrylonitrile, or of butadiene or of styrene in granular form, e.g. in the form in which they are rendered by a suspension polymerization process, at a temperature of 167° to 230° F., and then cooled to obtain that these additives come into the granules of polymer or copolymer, retaining the same granulometry of this polymer or copolymer granules, with said additive constituting up to 5/6 of the resulting mixture.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
116 words
A process for treating dusty stabilizing or lubrication additives for a homopolymer and copolymer of vinyl chloride, acrylonitrile, butadiene or styrene to convert said dusty additive to a free-flowing, non-dusty form, comprising: (a) Mixing at least one of said dusty additives in powdered form with non-dusty particles of at least one of said polymers in the absence of a plasticizer, the additives constituting from 1/6 to 5/6 of said mixture; (b) Heating said mixture, while continuing said mixing, to a temperature sufficient to cause particles of said dusty additive to be absorbed by the non-dusty particles of said polymer, without changing the particle size or causing agglomeration of said polymer particles; and (c) Cooling said mixture.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
116 words
A process for treating dusty stabilizing or lubrication additives for a homopolymer and copolymer of vinyl chloride, acrylonitrile, butadiene or styrene to convert said dusty additive to a free-flowing, non-dusty form, comprising: (a) Mixing at least one of said dusty additives in powdered form with non-dusty particles of at least one of said polymers in the absence of a plasticizer, the additives constituting from 1/6 to 5/6 of said mixture; (b) Heating said mixture, while continuing said mixing, to a temperature sufficient to cause particles of said dusty additive to be absorbed by the non-dusty particles of said polymer, without changing the particle size or causing agglomeration of said polymer particles; and (c) Cooling said mixture.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
18 words
Process according to claim 1 wherein said polymer is a homopolymer or copolymer of acrylonitrile, butadiene or styrene.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
16 words
Process according to claim 1 wherein said polymer is a homopolymer or copolymer of vinyl chloride.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
19 words
Process according claim 1 wherein said temperature sufficient to cause said absorption is from 167° C. to 230° F.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
105 words
A particulate, non-dusty, free-flowing additive polymer concentrate free of a plasticizer for a rigid homopolymer and copolymer of vinyl chloride, acrylonitrile, butadiene or styrene, said concentrate comprising: (a) Particles of at least one dusty stabilizing or lubricating additive; (b) Particles of said polymer having dimensions obtained by forming said polymer by a suspension polymerization process; (c) Said particles of said additive being absorbed by said particles of said polymer, whereby the particles of polymer with absorbed additive have the same dimensions as the polymer particle prior to such absorption; and (d) The weight ratio of said additive to said polymer being from 1:5 to 5:1.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
105 words
A particulate, non-dusty, free-flowing additive polymer concentrate free of a plasticizer for a rigid homopolymer and copolymer of vinyl chloride, acrylonitrile, butadiene or styrene, said concentrate comprising: (a) Particles of at least one dusty stabilizing or lubricating additive; (b) Particles of said polymer having dimensions obtained by forming said polymer by a suspension polymerization process; (c) Said particles of said additive being absorbed by said particles of said polymer, whereby the particles of polymer with absorbed additive have the same dimensions as the polymer particle prior to such absorption; and (d) The weight ratio of said additive to said polymer being from 1:5 to 5:1.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
31 words
A polymer concentrate according to claim 5 wherein said additive is a powder selected from the group consisting of neutral basic compounds of lead, zinc, barium, calcium, magnesium, strontium and manganese.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
18 words
A polymer concentrate according to claim 5 wherein said polymer is a homopolymer or copolymer of vinyl chloride.
